Kim Kardashian Reveals How She Pulled Off That Ultra-Tiny Waist For Her 2019 Met Gala Wet Look

The first Monday in May is a special time in New York City. Stars from all walks of life, selected from a list carefully curated by Vogue editor-in-chiefAnna Wintour, gather for the Met Gala.

Each year, the fundraiser for the Metropolitan Museum of Art assigns a theme for celebrities to dress in accordance with. This year’s theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion,” based on the 1964 essay of the same name by Susan Sontag. There were a lot of outrageous looks featured at this year’s gathering. One of the most talked about came from none other than Kim Kardashian.

For Kim, the Met Gala continues to be a Cinderella story moment. Once a woman who people openly said would never be high fashion and never grace the cover of Vogue, Kim defied the odds to get a chance to attend the prestigious event.

During this year, Kim also happens to be this month’s Vogue cover star. Her outfit was incredible — and definitely not easy to pull off.

Year 1- 2013 Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy. I was Kanye’s plus one & so nervous! I didn’t know anyone & I’m sure no one wanted me there lol. I did my own lipstick & the color is so off. I went home & cried after of insecurity but this is one of my fave looks now. pic.twitter.com/M1so9DVEn4

Kim Kardashian has made a splash each and every time she’s attended the Met Gala. Her first time was in 2013, while she was pregnant with first child, North. She donned a Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy gown that spawned a million memes.

Year 5-2017 Vivienne Westwood. This was my first year going solo. I was so nervous to go by myself I almost threw up on the way & I had to pee every second.. I was FaceTiming my sisters to meet up at the top of the stairs. Vivienne made me this beautiful dress from her archive. pic.twitter.com/X1yA0RW4g7

We knew Kim would be rocking a wet look, but we had no idea how she’d pull it off. She continued to tease her glam look with another picture from the film.

Year 7- 2019 Manfred Thierry Mugler For the house of Mugler. Mr. Mugler hasn’t designed in 20 years & made me the most magical dripping wet dress & printed latex dress w crystals! I have to pinch myself, I am attending the Met Gala while on the cover of Vogue!!! God is good! 🙏🏼 pic.twitter.com/BFKMfHRcHa

The extensive prep is something Kim says she hasn’t been indulging in much lately, dedicating her time to her law studies instead. She’s in the midst of an apprenticeship that will help her become a lawyer in the state of California.

As for Kanye, he went for a low-key look for the evening. He wore a simple Dickies jacket and pants. He reasoned that he was taking his turn being Kim’s plus one this year.

The concept worked and you pulled it off @KimKardashian it photographed well too!!! You look dripping HOT 🔥💧💦🔥💧💦 loved the Sophia Loren reference and how it also kind of looks like your Vogue cover come to life!
